Web Site Design and Development- We create sites to sell, promote, inform or offer product
distribution for your business. After developing your site and we place
it on an internet server so it is available for the world to view, 24
hours a day.

Web Maintenance
- We work with you to determine an appropriate and economical solution
for your site's maintenance needs. Whether you need
training to do site maintenance or prefer to have it done for you, we
show you how to keep the information up-to-date. We can train you to
update your own pages, without learning complicated HTML.
-
Promotion
- Once your site is created, it is essential to advertise and promote
it. We submit your site's address (URL) to the major online internet
search engines and directories. In addition, you will need to place your
URL on company brochures, letterheads and business cards.
Ninety-five percent of the traffic on the Internet use only the top 10
engines. All the others account for only a tiny fraction. The internet
is like many businesses - all that matters is location, location and
location!
-
Electronic Mail and Forms
- The web offers the ability to update information on a continuing
basis for a fraction of the cost of updating and distributing new price
lists, or other printed material. Unlike other advertising methods,
customers can reply instantly through the use of electronic mail, or
feedback forms. We set up your email accounts for you, so that your
customers can reach you at your_name@your_company.com.
-
Domain Names
- An important concern when creating a site is the domain name or
"address" your site will have. It is important to select a name that is
right for your business. Most businesses like to have their name in the
URL such as www.my-company.com or www.acame.com. We can
assist you in securing the domain name you choose.
-
Hosting
- Hosting prices will vary depending on the type of service and amount
of space the web site will require. See our
rates for hosting your site.
-
Advantages
- One of the major advantages of having an Internet site is that it's
more cost effective than traditional means of advertising.
It reaches more people for your advertising dollar. Created almost 30
years ago as a resource for the United States government, military
organizations, and university systems, the internet has grown into the
second largest network on the planet, surpassed only by the global
telephone network! Sources estimate that the fastest growing part of the
internet, the World Wide Web, is doubling every two months.
According to survey results announced in February 1998, by IntelliQuest
Information Group Inc. of Austin Texas:
- About 62 million adults, or 30 percent of the U.S. population ages
16 and older, use the Internet.
- That's and increase of 32 percent from 46.8 million users a year
earlier.
- Another 7 million adults planned to go online within the next six
months. If that happens, the number of wired U.S. residents could
approach 70 million by mid-year, double the number just two years ago,
